lol, well, I'm at the age where that's gonna start impacting me soon I guess. I'm not sure that my issue with online interactions like this is as much related to general bitchery as it is the distinct inability to let someone make a point. Either this guy hated your point, judged you based on something random, or just genuinely cannot see the forest for the trees. In any case, it's infuriating to me. Your point was that technology, given enough time, makes inconceivable things real. Any moron could see this if they tried. Both through observation in the world and by reading what you wrote. But somehow none of that mattered. Just the fact that they thought your examples were subpar could possibly matter. (btw they weren't, they illustrated the point just fine). Being crotchety is something I'm no stranger to and it's often unpleasant. But focusing on shit that doesn't matter in order to make another person "wrong" is some pointless bullshit. It's not even pedantry. It's something else, imo.
Yeah, I get your point. It's like the internet (or something else) has caused people to become worse at openly communicating and exchanging ideas and view points when we all expected it to help that become easier. So many people stick to the view they're comfortable with, and insist anyone else is wrong, stupid, or evil.
I sort of think text messaging is part of it. Even when we started with email and online chats it was generally in the form of long email or conversations about more than one thing. Now people are so used to constantly texting that if you send texts that are more than a sentence or two people think you're weird, and most people even places like this where you can write as much as you need to convey your meaning stick to tiny blips that could be texts.
That's one of my two old guy conspiracy theories. The other is that the reason everything else in the world got way more expensive but somehow it's now almost cheaper to panel a house in huge 4k TVs than it is to use drywall is because most guys like huge shiny TVs and we're less likely to be out rioting that everything else is getting shitty if there's 80" football and elf boobies at home.
